Otto Addo started Majeed Ashimeru very well but I still don't know why Ghanaians want him to be sacked. I think iñaki Williams would get his goal in our next match. pic.twitter.com/ml2Hw2orKM

If Kwesi Appiah is actually winning with a Sudan squad with less quality in terms of players

Where as Otto Addo struggles with a Ghana team with better quality

This should tell you how bad Otto Addo is performing as a coach

I'm not a professional but I have observed our current Black Stars don't play as a team and that is the main problem.... Their technical team is 100% wack and need to be dissolve #Blackstars pic.twitter.com/Tv7VLvEMP1

We can't give up on #BlackStars

Better days ahead.

You check the intensity and positive attitude of Angola and Sudan players in their qualifyong tie right now on GTV Sports you get to conclude that our #BlackStars are over pampered and we should not and must not entertain their unpatriotic behavior.

Dissolve that team.

Are we going to blame the pitch again for the BlackStars performance?

Let's admit our guys aren't good enough. Let's not fool ourselves #BlackStars #NigGha #AFCON2025Q

After Efia Odo told us she own Eats Avenue on UTV, she went to 3fm in August to say she co owned it and now she’s telling us to eat at our own risk. Efia Odo, do you know you can be dragged to c0urt? Kwabena Sarpong is a good person so he might let it slide pic.twitter.com/S7abQLSxF3

I’m no longer affiliated with Eats Avenue, Eat at your own risk ☺️. Thank you 🙏🏾

— EFIAODO (@Efiaodo1) September 9, 2024

Efia Odo gave Eats Avenue restaurant the maximum publicity. I buy food from there because of Efia Odo. Real influence, hate the man, don’t hate the message.
